Abstract:
The basic Social Security disability benefits application form (cleared under OMB No. 0960-0618) contains a lead question asking if the applicant cared for their own or their spouse’s children under age 3, and had no earnings during that period. If the answer is yes, the applicant completes Form SSA-4162 (either on paper or through a Social Security Administration (SSA) claims representative (CR) during a personal interview). SSA uses the information to determine if the applicant qualifies for the child-care exclusion. For the modernized claims system (MCS) application version, the beneficiary provides the information verbally to the SSA CR during a personal interview, and the CR inputs the information directly into the MCS application. The CR prints the MCS application for the beneficiary to verify and sign. Respondents are applicants for Title II disability benefits.

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this IC in 2019, the burden was 167 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 261 hours. This change stems a decrease in the number of responses from 2,000 to 1,563. In addition, we updated our burden per response from 5 minutes to 10 minutes based on current Management Information data, and our reassessment of the burden to ensure we allow time for reading the instructions, gathering the data, and answering the questions. These figures represent current Management Information data. *Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 1,407, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 261. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30 minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
